Amharc ar fhreagra191 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the funding provided to each local authority in 2009, 2010 and in the estimate for 2011 to fund the housing aid for older people scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47434/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 189 to 191, inclusive, together.
My Department's involvement with the Housing Adaptation Grant Schemes for Older People and People with a Disability relates primarily to the recoupment of a proportion of local authority expenditure on the payment of individual grants. The grant schemes, introduced in November 2007, are funded by 80% recoupment available from my Department together with a 20% contribution from the resources of the local authority.
It is a matter for each local authority to decide on the specific level of funding to be directed to each of the various grant measures from within the allocations notified to them by my Department and to manage the operation of the schemes in their areas from within their allocation.
Details of the Exchequer allocations to each local authority in 2009 and 2010 are set out in the table below.
